However with the introduction of Android OS with Google maps on mobiles and many mid to high-end phones coming with GPS capabilities, the trend of owning an in car navigation device has gone down quite a bit. High price of a PND can also be blamed for the dip.
To fight the price barrier, TomTom has brought two not-so-expensive navigation devices to India from their Start series.
